The Implementation Science Core (ISC) maximizes efficiencies across projects and has adopted an implementation conceptual model, Exploration-Preparation-Implementation-Sustainment (EPIS), to ground implementation planning, research, and measurement across the studies. The goals of the ISC parallel those in the Analytic Core (AC) to support the accomplishment of the overall Scale It Up objectives by (1) increasing the efficiency in using currently available and new IS knowledge, measurement tools, and other core resources; (2) enhancing the synergy of Scale It Up; and (3) enabling the research project teams to make advances in IS research related to youth HIV self-management interventions that would not be possible through individual projects.
